RE: Green Water

["Jason Sullivan" <jsull97@earthlink.net>]

Thanks Dave.

An additional observation--

After a week or two, all the green material sinks to the bottom of the jar,
cloudy on top, green at bottom.  I usually restart the culture at this point
with the logic that the "green" in the water no longer has food, dies, and
sinks to the bottom.

Have I been replacing the culture at just the right time to start feeding
from it?

Jason Greenwater doesn't have to smell so bad. Your
using to much organic material to seed the culture. I
use a one gallon glass jar. I add some old tank water
and about 3-4 grains of rice. I let this sit in a
sunny spot for a week or two and Bada Bing greenwater
and not stinky either. The smell clears up after the
cuture is mature. I find that after the week or two it
takes to make the greenwater the smell is gone. Hope
it helps. I use greenwater for Daphnia and little
fish.
